It isn’t very high tech nor did it involve my beloved Lucille, but a friend who owns a farm near Chatham (about 60 miles east of here) invited me out to work with him yesterday. He was plowing his corn field and really, I just sit in the tractor with him and chew the fat - although I did walk for a while and picked a couple of bushels of rocks and tossed them off the edge of the field into a drainage ditch.
It was such a beautiful day that I left early (8:15 AM) and rode the ST1300 out to a little village called Wheatley in the early morning chill (about -3C or about 27 deg. F). It is about 50 km (30 miles) from my place and there I had a diner breakfast and then completed the trip to the farm after my fingers thawed out. The ride back was much warmer +3-5C (around 37-41 deg. F) so no problems with the pinkies.
Anyhow, a fun day and in that cold thick air, that big Honda made TONS of power. It felt great to be alive and on my bike, plus helping a good friend.
Cheers,
Pete
